ABSTRACT

The Nature of This Invention is to Show That Just May Be, “We” as A Nation Can Free Our selves From The Grips Of “Fossil Fuel” That Has The Ability To Create Havoc And Turmoil Around The Entire World at One Time Or Another. It Became Perfectly Clear To me That This Can Become The Beginning Of A New Era When Key Management Of Our Environment Is Finally In Our Future. It Is Possible That It Can Even Get Better.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This Invention Was Influenced by The On Set Of The Green Movement,Starting Many Years Ago. Seeing About Fifteen Plus Years Since I BeganThinking Seriously About This Invention. My First Active EncounterStarted On December Of 1996 When I Wrote General Motors Corporation AndMaking An Inquirer About The First “Electric Vehicle, “Namely The “EV1”As I Understood It, At That Time. The “EV1” As We Know It Went ThroughThe Trail Runs To No Avail, Either Being Shelf Or Destroyed. The NewElectric Vehicle By GM “The Chevy Volt” Is The New Birth In The MarketPlace With Added Features For The Market Place. After Many Trials AndErrors Of My Own, On Paper Of Course, I Finally Embrace An Idea ThatWorks Without The Use Of Fossil Fuel Up To Ninety Percent Or More WithPhysical Proven Results.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In View of The Above, It is My Principle Objective to Present a New AndDifferent Approach to Powering The Electric Vehicle From My Idea And OrInvention. The Way In Which I Accomplish This Feat Is By Obtaining PowerFrom The Rear Wheel Of The Vehicle And Transferring That Power ByTurning a Set Of Alternators Pulley Located In The Trunk Of The Vehicle.Let Us Possibly Think About Bringing The Trunk Back To The Market Place,After All Extra Weight Of Electric Vehicle Will Be Of Little Or NoConcern. If No Trunk, Then Just Maybe a Bump In The Rear Of The VehicleWill Do.

In My Invention a Thirteen Inch (13″.) Rear Wheel Pulley Drives A TwoInch (2″) Alternator Pulley Thus, Creating a One (1) To Six (6) Ratio OfTurns Causing My Charging System To Reach Its Regulated Voltage Rate AtA Quicker Time Frame For My On Board Charging System.

This System Can Be Consider Neighbor Friendly By Reaching Its RegulatedVoltage Setting Between Fifteen Miles (15 mph) to Twenty Five Miles (25mph). It Must Be Express Here That The Greater The Rear Wheel Size TheMore Output Is Provided By The Alternators In Reference to Time.

With My Invention I See The Gas Stations Future as The Present State OfThe Land Line Telephone Booth On The Corner. Oh Yes, We Mite Just Have ALittle less Tensions In The Entire World. Buying Fuel Is Similar ToBuying Food, You Must Do It Over And Over Again And You Never Ever Get aBreak.

Its Time To Begin a New Era In Transportation Of Personal Vehicles,Semi, Buses, Trucks And Other Related modes Of Travel From Points A To BWithout The Use Of Fossil Fuel Which Continue To Damage Our EnvironmentAnd Health Concerns.

Presently The Electric Vehicle Energy Only Shift The Use Of Fossil FuelIn An Indirect Manner, But Still Contribute To The Reliance On On FossilUse From Most Electrical Services Being Generated. My Idea Is TotallyNinety Percent Or Better self Generating Support As The Electric VehicleTravel From Place To Place.

Finally This Is a Very Inexpensive Way To Wean American And The Rest OfThe World From Fossil Fuel. We Must Take To Heart That If We GainSomething Surely We Will Lose Something In Return, Then We Must WeighOur Priority.
